Mr.. John Johnston, in Popular Science
Monthly, brings homo the forcibleness of the
analogy between the traits of savagcs and
that of developing civilized mankind. He
cites a case of wanton cruelty recorded, by a
boy without any apparent feeling for tho
cruelty of the act. Mr.. Johnston, opposing
the sentiment that pervades much of the
literature that is supposed to be written for
boys, docs not predict for this boy a life
of sin, but gravely contemplates the trait as
a step in the normal development Of youth.
Pity Is late factor in moral evolution, and
n really good" boy is morally precocious or
diseased. This view does not lower ones es-
Innate of a boys virtues, but accents those
that are suited to his years, as well as the i'm

TO remove one troublesome complaint that

American Engineer, have suitable space OF
clearance at each end of the bar.
Crate bar bearers will prove more service
able if they are placed a short distance from
the end of tho crate bar, leaving space sc
that whatever falls at the end may not lodge
there Some crate bar bearers are placed W
to the bridge wall at one end and join the
dead plato at the opposite end. As these
places arc most likely to accumulate ashes
they speedily choke up, if openings are not
provided for their escape.

FIG. 1-rHoroGRAPmC 11ATE HOLDER

If a person stands before such black back
ground and is photographed, only that part
of the plate will be affected which receives
the light reflected from himself If he then
changes his position so that his image falls
upon another part of the plate, both images
will appear in the same picture when dcvel-
oped; and photograph can thus be made in
which person is apparently shaking hands
with himself playing game of cards with
his double Of Offering him refreshments, etc.

which two opposite sides of the same plate
can be exposed at different times. The con-
struction is evident from tho engraving Zig.

pieces of metal. A, A. is a strip of sheet
metal which is only used to cover the crack

Chronic Bronchitis.

Chronic Bronchitis is also an infiamma
ton OF the mucous membrane Of the bron-
chial tnbes. When q cold settles on the
lungs the disease either ends In bronchitis
or pneumonia. II 1t ends in bronchitis II
usually passes of as N cold on the chest,
and still the patient does n feel entirely
well, He feels tired and ianguid, and is In.
capable Of taking his usual amount Of exer.
cise. and experiences a khortness of breath
with more or less warmth in the palms OF
his hands Soon after this cough appears,
mucus, followed by u hectic flush, loss OF
flesh and strength and night sweats con-
tinue, when the patient assumes all the ap.
pearances ofhaving genuine case of con-
sumption. But this is simply catarrh OF the

A CANARD..
Ne Attemps 10 Derail a southern
Pacific Train.

Pacific Train.
Some fellow whose knowledge of
Southern California is either very de-
fective, or who was very short on news
last night, telegraphed to San Fran
cisco a cock-and-bull story about an
attempt to wreck the south-bound ex-
press on the Southern Pacific at point
near Rosamond, in Kerr county. This
cheerful liar says that the track
walker, who is genteel son of the
sod named Pat Friel, discovered
seven armed men putting rocks and
other distractions ON the track near
Rosamond. The track walker hurried
to Rosamond and notified the agent,
who telegraphed to the conductor Of
the train at Mojave. At the latter
place the conductor armed the train
men, putting four walking arsenals
ON the engine, three on the express
car and four on top of the
mail car. The train approached the
fateful spot, was stopped and the OBJ
structions removed from the track.
The robbers, in the meantime, lurked
in the brush near the track.
There are three or four inaccuracies
in the above statement that destroys
its usefulness as a matter of news.
First, there is no agent at Rosamund.
Second, there is not, and never has
been a telegraph Office there, and,
third, there is not the slightest vestige
of brush for the robbers to lurk in.
The descendant of Ananias who
sent the dispatch states that the pas
sengers were all asleep and did not
know the danger through which they
passed. 1t is altogether probable that
the reporter was asleep and dreamed
the story that he sent.
